Who Is Drug Testing?

Corporations

Testing for drugs as part of the pre-employment
screening is becoming a necessity. The liability, productivity
and health issues surrounding drug abuse in the workplace are an
important concerns for employers. The percentage of workers who
reported some form of drug testing program in their workplace is
up 5% in each of the last few years.

For those employed in small businesses (less than 25 employees)
the use of drug testing increased to 28 percent. The increase
was even greater for medium-sized businesses (25 to 499
employees) the use of drug testing increased to 58 percent. With
the larger companies (500+ employees) the percentage of drug
testing was at 74 percent.

Suspicion based testing, post-accident testing and random drug
testing programs are increasingly used to maintain a safe and
productive workplace.

Courts/Law Enforcement

Courts and law enforcement agencies are taking
advantage of the superior capabilities of hair testing. With
hair testing's accuracy, wide window of detection and
flexibility as to time of collection, better decisions can be
made in court cases and parole situations.

Educational Institutions

School administrators have been given more
latitude from parents, communities and the courts to establish
testing programs to find and help drug abusing students.

Hair testing is a particularly effective method to meet this
need. The non-invasive collection procedure coupled with the
inability to adulterate the sample makes it an ideal test for
uncovering a pattern of substance abuse in teens.
